We’ve all been to those networking events that feel more like small talk on repeat. Not this time. Join United Way African American Leadership at the City Club of Greenville next Tuesday, Oct. 28, for a new series built around real conversations with the people shaping Greenville County’s future. First up: Ashton Lawrence, AAL Chair, senior wealth advisor at Mariner Wealth Advisors, and third-generation philanthropist. Instead of the usual bio and bullet points, we asked him one thing: “What’s the question you wish people would ask you?” Come ready to connect, challenge ideas and leave inspired. Limited seats available, so grab your ticket today: https://ignite.stratuslive.com/unitedwaygc/get-involved/event/aal-one-question AAL members will receive a complimentary beverage ticket. (fb)

Weather update: Due to heavy rain expected tomorrow, the Oyster Roast has been canceled and any guest ticket purchases will be automatically refunded. We’re disappointed we won’t gather tomorrow, but we’ve got more great things coming soon. Stay tuned for our next YLS event! (fb)
